Respondent's Answer to Petition 

 

NOW COMES Respondent, CITY OF NOVI, by and through its Attorneys, ROSATI, 

SCHULTZ, JOPPICH & AMTSBUECHLER, P.C., and for its Answer to Petitioner's 

Petition states as follows: 

1. 

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 1 of the Petition, Respondent 

neither admits nor denies the same for the reason Respondent is without sufficient 

knowledge to form a belief as to the truth thereof and therefore leaves Petitioner to its strict 

proofs. 

2. 

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 2 of the Petition, Respondent 

admits the same.

Page 2

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 3 of the Petition, Respondent

admits the same.

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 4 of the Petition, Respondent

admits that the property is classified as alleged; as to the remainder of the allegations,

Respondent neither admits nor denies the same for the reason Respondent is without

sufficient knowledge to form a belief as to the truth thereof and therefore leaves Petitioner

to its strict proofs.

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 5 of the Petition, Respondent

neither admits nor denies the same for the reason Respondent is without sufficient

knowledge to form a belief as to the truth thereof and therefore leaves Petitioner to its strict

proofs.

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 6 of the Petition, Respondent

neither admits nor denies the same for the reason Respondent is without sufficient

knowledge to form a belief as to the truth thereof and therefore leaves Petitioner to its strict

proofs.

As to the allegations contained in Paragraph 7 and its subparts of the Petition,

Respondent denies the same as untrue.

Respondent further states the ratio of the average level of assessment in

relation to true cash value in the assessment district is 50%, and the equalization factor was

uniformly applied in the assessment district for the year in question.

WHEREFORE, Respondent, CITY OF NOVI, denies that Petitioner is entitled to the

relief it seeks and respectfully requests that the Respondent's assessment and taxable value

of the subject property be affirmed or increased, that Petitioner's Petition be dismissed with

prejudice and that Respondent be granted costs and attorney fees so wrongfully sustained.

Affirmative Defenses

For its further Answer to Petitioner's Petition and by way of its Affirmative Defenses,

Respondent states as follows and demands an answer from Petitioner as to each:

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to set forth a cause of

action against Respondent and to support its claim for relief.

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to establish fraud, error of

law, discrimination, application of wrong principles or illegality on the part of the

Respondent.

Petitioner fails to allege that the mode and method of appraising its property

failed to conform with the mode and method applied in the case of all of the properties in the

Respondent's taxing unit for the year in question.

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to establish the true cash

value, assessed value and taxable value of its property.

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to support its allegation

that the assessed value of its property, as equalized, is at a factor other than 50% and also

fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to support its allegations that the property's taxable

value is improper.

Petitioner fails to show that any rate other than 50% after equalization was

applied to the true cash value of its property, as well as to the properties of all others to arrive

at the respective equalized assessments.

Petitioner, in essence, asks that this Honorable Tribunal grant it an illegal

preference by application of a method of assessment different from that employed in the

assessment of other properties in the Respondent's taxing unit.

Petitioner, in essence, seeks by Petition to challenge the process of county and

state equalizations as to which it has no legal standing and cannot maintain a cause of action.

Page 5

9. 

If Petitioner appeared at the Board of Review, Petitioner failed in its 

appearance before the Board of Review to specifically allege: 

A. 

The equalized assessment of the property is more than 50% of 

its true cash value and that the taxable value is in violation of 

applicable statutory and constitutional limitations. 

 

B. 

The property is assessed in a discriminatory manner and that 

the assessment is a higher level of true cash value than the average 

level of assessment of all other property within the City of Novi, 

excepting this property and the assessment on other property which is 

also under appeal. 

 

C. 

The assessment and taxable value are unlawful and based upon 

the application of wrong principles and thereby operate as a 

constructive
